Affirmative action was undertaken in the name of equality. But, as always seems to happen, it soon fell prey to the Orwellian logic … “but some animals are more equal than others.”
Are you seriously trying to suggest that under affirmative action, blacks are now treated as superior to whites?
I understand that in the attempt to compensate for disadvantage, affirmative action can produce perverse results. But isn’t this going a little too far?
